At the end of every academic year, William Woods University (WWU) recognizes a select group of its students with the Owl Achievement Award. Recipients of the award are selected for their Outstanding Wisdom and Leadership (OWL) contributions while a student at WWU.
Students must have at least a 3.5 grade point average to be eligible of the Owl Achievement Award, and must also submit their resume and campus activities for review.
